Tax Freedom Day - Good News - Bad News

From Carpe Diem, the tax freedom day comes earlier than last year (that's the good news) meaning that you pay off your taxes earlier. The bad news is that "Americans will pay more in taxes than they will spend on food, clothing and housing combined."

That is simply amazing! Read that again...More in TAXES than FOOD + CLOTHING + HOUSING. The three items that are commonly known as necessities "Food, Shelter, Clothing" now take a smaller portion than the "two certainties in life"..."Death and Taxes." (I'm assuming that death happens at no cost.)
